Does changing your own oil void Chevy’s warranty?

Chevy only allows one maintenance visit after you buy a new vehicle, but the time has come for another oil change and I want to save money by doing it at home. Does changing your own oil void Chevy’s warranty?

Performing your own car maintenance at home certainly saves money! And to answer your question—no, changing your own oil does not void your Chevrolet warranty.
Thanks to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, it is against the law for warranty providers (and car dealers) to void a warranty if car maintenance is performed by the owner. However, your Chevy warranty could be voided if you change your oil incorrectly and it leads to damage, so it’s important to make sure you’re using the right engine oil for your Chevy vehicle!
If you’re looking to save time and money on ownership costs, changing your own oil is a terrific way to do so. And another way? By using
